The holiday season has seen a new and perhaps ill-considered holiday tradition: People getting angry at a giant corporation over its cups. And, apparently, people have decided to follow in the footsteps of Scott Baio and start telling their barista their name is Trump to make them shout the name out loud. Get it? HIL-AR-IOUS!
Needless to say, people aren’t happy! Let’s go visit the #TrumpCup Twitter hashtag, which is sure to be full of compassion and positivity and —

At my Starbucks they just yell the drink order, put it on the counter and expect the person who paid for it to claim it. I don’t think they’ve ever asked for my name.
If you take California and New York out of the election she would have lost by almost 4 million votes. A few states do not dictate the election. This is why the electoral college was created. The founding fathers did not want a few states to decide the future of all the states.
That was when it was hard to move from place to place. Now liberal people tend to live in highly populated cities on the coast and conservatives are afraid to move to get a job and cry to the government to fix it. : )
…and the 3 million non citizen votes recently discovered more than likely voted for Hillary
So we may just be subtracting a few votes from Hillary
If no idiots voted Clinton would have gotten all the votes.
Wick there is flaw in your argument in that the unemployment rate is higher in larger cities such a LA and New York than it is in the rest of country.
Frambley apparently you are one of those idiots, because that was a hard sentence to read.
Then what are they bitching about all the time? : )
The problem is the country is being run with the people who live in big cities in mind. The cost of living where I live is a lot less than in the city. These idiots that want $15 an hour to flip burgers would cripple the economy of a majority of the smaller cities like where I live. You can get a 2 bedroom 1000 sqft townhouse for less the $500 a month. There is low crime rate and plenty things to do.
Being able to live a better life on less money is why people don’t live in bigger cities. If you are trying to make a living on a minimum wage job but are living in large city where the cost of living is outrageous, you might want to rethink your living situation. Currently I own a 2400 sqft house on 1.5 acres and it cost me 215,000. That house in a larger city would have cost me 4 or 5 times more.
So the reason they voted in a big city billionaire was so they could lower the minimum wage and bring back jobs to small towns that just dont make sense to have in a small town anymore?
They could just misspell it “Drumpf”
You should refer to this article about people saying their name was black lives matter at Starbucks. [uproxx.com]
Odd how this site thought that was a great statement but now it’s just ridiculous and has no point. Keep on doing that hypocracy that you do so well!

@Doorknob @Joe Carroll you should read the comments to that post, I think they still work here:
“It’s interesting when corporations have an identity like this, because they are glad to do this, but wouldn’t read a name like “F*CK STEVE BRAMUCCI!”
I guess my thought is: We Don’t Pay You To Have A Corporate Opinion….But We Also Don’t Pay You Not To. So I’m fine with baristas self-selecting which mottos they will and won’t read.”
For me it comes down to human rights not politics. Black lives mattering is a human rights issue, Trump is both a political issue and a human rights issue — because he has overtly threatened human rights.
If you have a problem with the site… why are you here? Fox news has a website.
Good call Dan.

@Steve- come on now.
Ahhhh to put your beliefs onto someone else… can’t wait for this to end in sweet violence.
I really don’t get what any of this is accomplishing except for providing Starbucks with free advertising.
*publicity, I mean.
So their giving money to an estblishment they’re against, and not giving money to something they were never going to go to in the first place (Hamilton). Bruh.
godammit *they’re
So what I got from this post is being confused why any latinos are for trump
Nice over-priced suburban coffee, Mr. Rugged Camo Hat.
